And too often I react by putting my writing on hold, rather than reacting like those Whos.

I can certainly feel he must be around many authors and writers .. but he slinks off to other normal members of society and knocks them back - the trick is he can't keep it up all the time .. life will come through, happiness will abound, green slimy Grinch must be freezing right now!

Kick that old Grinch out and keep his dog (who was always my favorite character anyway). =o)<br /><br />I think the confidence stealing Grinch lives in my back closet between the Easter decorations and the bag of wrapping paper bits too big to throw out and too small to use. Usually I do a pretty good job of keeping him back there. Every time I think I have that darn door locked, though, he sneaks out and ambushes me. It's an ongoing battle.B.E.
